PETITIONS FOR THE PASTORS REINSTATEMENT TO

PETITIONS FOR THE PASTORS REINSTATEMENT TO
BE SENT TO ROME.
The parishioners OF St. Stephens Church who are
determined that DR.. McGlynn shall be renstated had
chance to express their sentiments orally last even
ing for the first time since Father Donnely closed the
doors OF the church against public meetings of all
kinds. They seemed to appreciate tire opportunity,
embracing it with an enthusiasm that swept away I'LL
attain ted opposition on the part of Father Cotons
trends The mass-meeting was held, IA announced In
the International Assembly rooms, in East twenty
seventies. Third-ave. IT was stated that tue
lace would only seat about oOO people, put by some
Arrangement Il was MADE TO accommodate nearly
dmble that number while a far larger crowd had to
remain about the doors and on the sde~ ak. Only
Co o,tsiders were present. The hall was decorated
with eyargreens and a few pictures OF DR.. McGlynn
neatly framed. Chairman Feeney Secretary Ryan,
DR. Carey Mr. Martin and other prominent members
of the Committee OF Thirty-dve occupied seats on the
platform -
the work accomplished by the committee since its
organization, and stated the object Of the meeting
thus:
q Rumors have been circulated thai the committee
had exhausted ITSELF that wonder II had
passed out Of sight and hearing that things in ST.
Stephens parish would 20 in their old way
though DR.. MoGlynn had never been pastor OF 1t or
had been entirely forgotten. But ladies and gentle
men, this s not the Our intention is to fight on
until we let our pastor back again Cheers
St. Stephens lApplausel Dr. Mc(ynn must be
brought back to the sacred affairs OF church Why
don't he 90 to Rome some ask, including the Arch
bishop. Why. my friends. Dr. McGIynn has been pun
ished before he was judged He has been treated in
the way an English magistrate used to treat Irish
rebels-hang them first and pass Judgment upon them
next dav. Laughter cheers Reinstate him, we
saw and then well send him to Rome and mark nv
words, he'll make Rome howl Loud cheers. He'll
convince the world OF the OF his cause
The closing remarks Of Mr.. Feeney were drowned in
the applause of the people Then Mr. Ryan reported
that Messrs Steinway had given back the money paid
for fha hall prOtered
committee at any time. They were given iote OF
thanks. .
DR. Carey was the next speaker. In reviewing his
attempts to inGuce Archbishop Corrgan to act differ
emily toward DIR. McGynn he referred to the prclate as
General Corrigan. since he explained the Archbishop
expressed liking for military definition.
aOh the Archbishop is good" some one shouted.
"To New-Jersey with him." another added. DIR.
Carey continued:
and they work finely together. My friends, you see
that the receipt you got tor the money you pad TO
build and sustain ST. Stephens was to be kicked out OF
il by the police"
This remark was greeted with expressions of indig.
nation and when the speaker alluded 10 the parochial
act ools which Father Donnelly gong to build,
cries of " We don't want any" we're heard. DIR. Nc
Glynn, he added, wanted more churches and priests
but was satisfied with the public schools
At this point some one attempted TO interrupt the
speaker, but bowled down in way that shook the
building. Dr. Carey then eulogzed Dr. McGl. nm and
Was loudly cheercd Mr.. Martin, who was in favor OF
giving up the fight made explanation OF his course.
He denied that he had been approached by any one
wicked reporter had stated, and proiessed to
were we'll received lie was followed by James Nolan
a thin psleac"d ,oung man. who succeeded IN Great
ing stir by exceedingly brief speech lie was not
down on the list OF speakers, but ~ he assured DR..
Carey that he friend OF DR.. Mcilynn's he as
allowed to 20 ahead The best method OF getting the
doctor back, he said was not being pursued by the
committee, and added:
We have got DR.. Cotton L w, we all know a
good"
Cotton 4" Out with him." " Put him out Down
with him." were a few OF the cries that we're heard
the lips OF the startled people all their feet by
this time The women shook their cenched hands and
umbrellas at him and the tried 10 pull him down.
But for the efforts of Dr. Carey and Mr.. Martin he
OF Mr. Martin decided TO draw petitions aud
distribute them through the city, TO be sgued by Cath
olics who ar. in favor Of DR. McGlynns reinstatement
When signed they Will be seat TO Rome. For the
present these petitions will be found Dr. Careys.
